Misleading “Free Course” Claim: Mandatory Certification Fee Should Be Disclosed Upfront
you declare it free but when i scored 90% then you asked payment to get certification. why you did not clear that issue earlier. its not professional indeed. Policy should be change and stated that course is free but if you really need a certification then payment is mandatory.

CONVINIENCE
What made my experience great is the convinience of learning online.Second is getting detailed information about the VA World that isn't shared out there on social media platforms.Third is learning at my own scheduled time.
What the company is doing well is making this information available to anyone and after learning you can get a certificate when ready.
